Murder at Everham Hall by Benedict Brown

Murder at Everham Hall by Benedict Brown

A mystery novelist with writer's block, a lavish party to ring in the new year, and a film star with three bullets through his head...

December 1927. Mystery writer Marius Quin has one previous bestseller, endless looming mortgage payments, and no idea how to write his next book. When his childhood friend Lady Isabella Montague invites him to an intimate New Year's Eve party hosted by a narcissistic actor, Marius seizes upon the distraction. With his perpetually glum Basset hound along for the ride, he navigates the snowy lanes to the opulent estate of Everham Hall. As the celebrations begin, fireworks light up the sky, champagne corks pop, and then the host is murdered...

Snowed in and with the police unable to reach them, Marius is the closest thing the panicked party has to a detective and he is swiftly nominated to find the killer. But when two more guests are attacked, Marius soon realises that solving mysteries is even harder than writing them. With Bella at his side, and a clutch of conniving suspects to choose from, can Marius find the culprit before the killer targets him?

A completely charming and witty golden-age cozy mystery, perfect for the Christmas season. Fans of Agatha Christie, T E Kinsey and Lee Strauss won't be able to put down the Marius Quin Mysteries

Brown, Benedict: - I'm a Welsh-Irish-Englishman originally from South London but now living with my French-Spanish wife and decidedly European infant daughter in Burgos, a beautiful city in the north of Spain. Writing has always been my passion. It was my favourite half-an-hour a week at primary school, and I started on my first, truly abysmal book as a teenager. So it wasn't a difficult decision to study literature at university which led to an MA in Creative Writing. I grew up in a crime fiction family and had made a few clumsy attempts at writing one over the years before coming up with the idea for my detective Izzy Palmer. I've already released five Izzy novels and am starting on a 1920s mystery series with Lord Edgington Investigates.... If you feel like telling me what you think about my detectives, my writing or the world at large, I'd love to hear from you, so feel free to get in touch at www.benedictbrown.net
